Holy Mother of God!
I was sitting in the quaint church today for close to 3 hours, in the very first row.
People kept coming and going, but after a while I had lost touch with their footsteps and shuffling and whisperings, drifting to me from behind. It was pure bliss- the peace, the tranquility, the stillness… I was not praying today. Didn’t feel like it. And I don’t exactly remember when I stopped admiring the fine and colorful interiors (the architecture is gothic, I think) and my heavy eyelids drooped slowly into a heavenly stupor. Next thing I remember is I woke up with a start by the chorus of a bunch of little kids behind- “Rejoice Mary, Mother of God…”
I don’t know whether they realized I was sleeping, or they just thought that I was deep in praying. But this was undoubtedly one of the best naps I have ever had!
Come to think of it, falling asleep in a church, that too sitting in the first row!
What would Sr. Benedicta have said to that?
Perhaps, “holy mother of god”!!! :)

LOLL!!! But i agree, churches are the best place to go for a little quiet and peace of mind! Will take you to my school someday if we both are in pune ever. I have a feeling you'll like the place! :)
Beautiful! You have left a mark in my heart!
